LRP has released a new range of nitro racing specific oils under the branding Antix by LRP. Coming in a 60ml bottle, Hi-Flow Air Filter Oil will ensure you have a well oiled air filter, essential for the best possible engine protection and long engine life. The air filter oil achieves this through its high quality ingredients and the blue colouring makes checking the complete air filter lubrication especially easy. ANTIX by LRP After-Run Oil prevents oxidation of internal engine parts caused by the inevitable fuel and exhaust residues inside the engine after running, resulting in reduced performance and shortened engine life. Completing the initial range of oils is the 25ml bottle of Ball Bearing Oil 2 which is a new improved formulation of their previous high-quality, low-viscosity light-running oil.
